Anesthesia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search For other uses, see Anesthesia (disambiguation) Anesthesia , or anaesthesia (see spelling differences ; from Greek an- “without” + aisthesis “sensation”), has traditionally meant the condition of having sensation (including the feeling of pain ) blocked. This allows patients to undergo surgery and other procedures without the distress and pain they would otherwise experience. The word was coined by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. in 1846. Another definition is a "reversible lack of awareness", whether this is a total lack of awareness (e.g. a general anaesthestic) or a lack of awareness of a part of a the body such as a spinal anaesthetic or another nerve block would cause. Anesthesia differs from analgesia in blocking all sensation, not only pain. Today, the term general anesthesia in its most general form can include: citation needed Analgesia : blocking the conscious sensation of pain; Hypnosis : produces unconsciousness without analgesia; Amnesia : preventing memory formation;

It can relax you, block pain, or make you sleepy, forgetful, or unconscious. There are three types of anesthesia. Local anesthesia numbs a small part of your body. Regional anesthesia blocks pain to a larger part of your body. And general anesthesia affects the brain and entire body. The type of anesthesia you get is based on your health, the problem being treated, the results of your exams, and the type of procedure. Your doctor or nurse may prefer one type over another for your surgery. In some cases, your doctor or nurse may let you choose which type to have. Sometimes, such as in an emergency, you do not get to choose. All types of anesthesia have some risk, but major side effects and other problems from anesthesia are not common. Some health conditions increase the chance of problems from anesthesia. Your doctor or nurse will identify any health problems you have that could affect your care and can talk with you about any concerns you may have.

Anesthesia and You Anesthesia and You The Doctor Behind the Mask Most people think of their anesthesiologist only as the "doctor behind the mask" who helps them sleep through surgery without pain and who wakes them up when surgery is over. Let's lift the doctor's mask and take a look at the responsibilities and education of the anesthesiologist. Role in Modern Medicine Most people believe that anesthesiologists are the doctors who administer medications which keep them from feeling pain and sensations. However, few people realize that beyond ensuring the patient's comfort, today's anesthesiologists' primary role in the operating room is to make informed medical judgments to protect and regulate the patient's critical life functions that are affected by the surgery being performed. Also, these medical specialists are the doctors who will immediately diagnose and treat any medical problems that might arise during surgery or the recovery period. Anesthesiologists need a wide range of knowledge about medications, internal medicine, how the human body works, and its responses to the stress of surgery. As physicians, anesthesiologists are responsible for administering anesthesia to relieve pain and for managing vital life functions, including breathing, heart rhythm, blood pressure, and brain and kidney functions during surgery.

A Glossary of Medical Words A Anesthesia En espa±ol: Anestesia Say: ah-nus- thee -zhuh Anesthesia is medicine that doctors and nurses give to make people feel comfortable when they're having surgery stitches , or other things that might be painful. There are different types of anesthesia: general and local. General anesthesia is cool because it helps you fall asleep for a little bit so you don't feel any pain while the doctors are fixing something. A doctor can give you general anesthesia with a shot or by letting you breathe a special kind of air. The medicine wears off and you wake up a while later. Local anesthesia doesn't make you fall asleep, but it numbs the area so you won't feel pain while you get stitches or minor surgery to remove something like a wart.

Recovery University Controlled Substances Policy The University of Minnesota is an equal opportunity educator and employer. Guidelines for the Use of Anesthetics, Analgesics and Tranquilizers in Laboratory Animals What is Anesthesia? Anesthesia is a state of unconsciousness induced in an animal. The three components of anesthesia are analgesia (pain relief), amnesia (loss of memory) and immobilization . The drugs used to achieve anesthesia usually have varying effects in each of these areas. Some drugs may be used individually to achieve all three. Others have only analgesic or sedative properties and may be used individually for these purposes or in combination with other drugs to achieve full anesthesia. Curariform skeletal muscle relaxants or neuromuscular blockers ( e.g. succinylcholine, decamethonium curare, gallamine, pancuronium ) are not anesthetics and have no analgesic effects. They may only be used in conjunction with general anesthetics. Normally, artificial respiration must be provided. Physiologic monitoring methods must also be used to assess anesthetic depth, as normal reflex methods will not be reliable. It is important to realize that anesthesia is not a simple thing. It has profound effects on an animal's physiology because of the generalized central nervous system effects as well as specific effects on all other body systems. Thus, while anesthesia is necessary to prevent pain or distress in research animals, it must not be ventured into lightly. It is important to learn about the drugs you will be using and about the physiology of the animal you will be monitoring. Specific
